SrFeO $_3$ / SrTiO $_3$超晶格中的类铜电子结构

Electron-lattice instabilities suppress cuprate-like electronic structures in SrFeO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ superlattices

James M. Rondinelli, Nicola A. Spaldin

摘要:

利用{ \it ab initio}密度泛函理论,我们探讨了金属$d^4$ SrFeO $_3$限制在$d^0$介电SrTiO $_3$之间的超晶格几何结构的薄层的行为。我们发现绝缘SrTiO $_3$间隔层的存在强烈影响SrFeO $_3$的电子性质:对于单一的SrFeO $_3$层约束到其体立方结构,费米面是二维的,嵌套的,类似于空穴掺杂的超导铜氧化物。然而,Jahn-Teller不稳定性耦合到八面体倾斜模式,以消除这种简并性,从而导致绝缘超晶格。

英文摘要:

Using {\it ab initio} density functional theory we explore the behavior of thin layers of metallic $d^4$ SrFeO$_3$ confined between the $d^0$ dielectric SrTiO$_3$ in a superlattice geometry. We find the presence of insulating SrTiO$_3$ spacer layers strongly affects the electronic properties of SrFeO$_3$: For single SrFeO$_3$ layers constrained to their bulk cubic structure, the Fermi surface is two-dimensional, nested and resembles the hole-doped superconducting cuprates. A Jahn-Teller instability couples to an octahedral tilt mode, however, to remove this degeneracy resulting in insulating superlattices.
